“…Perumal (1981) stated that temperature is the most dominating factor in yield contribution of potato, and the required temperatures during vegetative as well as reproductive growth phase might have contributed towards getting better vegetative growth and higher yield. In connection, Khan et al (2011), Sandhu et al (2013), Thongam et al (2017) and Dash et al (2018) reported that there were significant differences between planting dates regarding yield and its components of potato. Data reveal that the relative yield increases were higher and comprised 18.14 and 9.81% with planting at10 th Oct as compared with planting at 20 th Sep.…”

“…Since tuberization rate in potato declines above a temperature of 17°C, increasing temperature may lead to reduced yields. Determining the optimum date of planting is not only important for yield but also to ensure better tuber quality (Dash et al 2018). In natural environment plants are subjected to many stresses that have a great impact on development and finally yield of the crops.…”

A filed experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2016/2017 and 2017/2018 at the experimental farm of El-Gemmeiza, Agric Res. Station, ARC, Gharbiya Governorate (Middle Nile Delta, Egypt) to study the effect of planting date (20 th September (Sep) and 10 th October (Oct), irrigation water level at 50, 75 and 100 % of filed capacity (FC) and two foliar spray with Ca (1%) as calcium chloride and/or boron (60 ppm) as boric acid besides unsprayed treatment (control), and their interactions on yield and its components, tuber cracking and tuber quality under clayey soil conditions using flood irrigation system. The adopted treatments were arranged in a split -split plot design with three replicates. The planting dates were arranged in the main plots, irrigation water quantities were arranged in the sub plots, while Ca and/or B foliar sprays were randomly distributed in sub -sub plots.The obtained results indicate that, the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct. , irrigation at 100% FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B resulted in higher values of total tuber yield, average tuber weight , number of tuber № plant -1 , tuber yieldplant -1 ,N, K, Ca and B contents and DM percentages in 1 st and 2 nd seasons. Total carbohydrates were the highest with the interaction of planting on 10 th Oct. and irrigating at 100 %FC and sprayed plants with B. The increases in total tuber yield were about 253.75 and 177.82 % for tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100% FC and sprayed with Ca + B over the interaction of planting on 20 th Sep , irrigation with 50%FC and unsprayed plants, in the 1 st and 2 nd 38 FAWZY MANSOUR & HANAN ABU EL-FOTOH seasons, respectively. As for tuber cracking %, the lowest values were obtained with the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct, irrigation with 75 %FC and sprayed with Ca + B (11.37 and 10.41 %) in the 1 st and 2 nd seasons, respectively, while the highest values were obtained with the tertiary interaction of planting on 20 th Sep, irrigation at 100 %FC and without Ca and B (25.38 and 26.57 % in the 1 st and 2 nd seasons, respectively).Conclusively, under similar conditions it could be concluded that , the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100 % FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B was superior for enhancing both total tuber yield and quality. Furthermore, on reducing tuber cracking, combination of planting on 10 th Oct, irrigation at 75% FC and spraying the plants with Ca + B is recommended.

A filed experiment was carried out during the two successive seasons of 2016/2017 to study the effect of planting date (20 th September (Sep.) and 10 th October (Oct.), irrigation water level at 50, 75 and 100 % from the filed capacity (FC) and two foliar spray treatments with calcium chloride (1%) and boron ( 60 ppm) singly or in combinations, beside unsprayed treatment as well as their interactions on growth, plant water relationship and plant chemical composition of potato (Mondial cv.) under clay soil conditions using flood irrigation system. These treatments were arranged in a split split plot design with three replicates. Planting date was arranged in the main plots, irrigation water quantities were in the sub plots, while foliar spray treatments were randomly distributed in the sub sub plots.The obtained results indicate that, the tertiary interactions of planting on 10 th Oct., irrigation at 100 % of FC and spraying potato plants with calcium and boron in combination gave the highest values of plant height , both fresh and dry weight of shoot/ plant, total and free water % as well as total chlorophyll ( a+b) in leaf tissues, N, P, K, Ca , Boron and total carbohydrates contents in shoots in both seasons. While the tertiary interactions of planting on 20 th Sep., irrigation level at 50 % from FC and unsprayed with calcium and boron gave the highest values of bound water % and proline amino acid in leaf tissues in both seasons. FAWZY MANSOUR & HANAN ABU EL-FOTOHConclusively, under similar conditions it could be concluded that , the tertiary interaction of planting on 10 th Oct , irrigation at 100 % FC and sprayed plants with Ca + B were the best interaction treatments for enhancing plant growth and chemical constituents in shoot of potato grown in clay soil under the same conditions.

Purpose Mulching is a practice recommended for soil moisture conservation in potato. The wheat straw and rice straw obtained as major crop residues were used as mulching materials to compare their effectiveness for soil moisture retention in potato crop. Methods The field experiments were conducted in a randomized complete block design replicated thrice with three treatments viz. plots incorporated with wheat straw mulch, rice straw mulch at the rate of 10 tonnes per hectare each and no mulch serving as control. The soil moisture was determined using a soil moisture probe and data were recorded daily at 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm soil depths. The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy was used to investigate moisture retention characteristics of the mulch materials. Results Soil moisture retention varied as wheat straw mulch > rice straw mulch > no mulch at 10 cm, 20 cm and 30 cm soil depths, respectively. Highest moisture retention in wheat straw mulch at 10 cm depth is attributed to better moisture absorption ability of wheat straw in comparison to rice straw. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope images indicated the presence of smaller sized micro tubes in wheat straw than rice straw, which resulted in more water retention, thereby substantiating the findings of the study. Conclusion Wheat straw mulch is more effective than rice straw mulch for shallow rooted crops like potato, due to better moisture absorption and retention in upper soil layer.
